Red

 In the sky, so beautifully mesmerised 

On the sea, art is God's canvas.

In the hairline, blessed, & divine.

On the forehead, power and grace.

In the blood, kin, pedigree, war, 

A sign of pride.

On the clothes, fiery and in control, 

And flags, brave and bold.

Why is it then only when 

Red appears monthly for a woman in shame?
